Em D Cadd9 Am
I had a way then losing it all on my own
Em D Cadd9 Am
I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
Em D Cadd9 Am
And I'm not sleeping now the dark is too hard to beat
Em D Cadd9 Am
And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me
Em D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
Cadd9 Am
You shine It when I'm alone
Em D
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
Cadd9 Am
And dreaming when they're gone
Em D
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Cadd9 D
Calling, calling, calling home
Em D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
Cadd9 Am
You shine It when I'm alone
Em D Cadd9 Am
Noises, I play within my head
Em D Cadd9 Am
Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing
Em D Cadd9 C Am
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
Em D Cadd9 Am
in an unlocked place the only time I feel safe
Em D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
Cadd9 Am
You shine It when I'm alone
Em D
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
Cadd9 Am
And dreaming when they're gone
Em D
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Cadd9 D
Calling, calling, calling home
Em D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
Cadd9 Am
You shine It when I'm alone
Em
Home
Em D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
Cadd9 Am
You shine It when I'm alone
Em D
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
Cadd9 Am
And dreaming when they're gone
Em D
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Cadd9 D
Calling, calling, calling home
Em D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
Cadd9 Am
You shine It when I'm alone
Em
